Real
Salt Lake took its first step towards qualification back on April 14, when the
Utah side followed a wild 3-3 draw at the San Jose Earthquakes by claiming a
5-3 victory in penalty kicks. Real Salt Lake is looking to rewrite its history
when it comes to U.S. Soccer’s National Championship tournament, the
Claret-and-Cobalt having gone just 3-5-1 between qualifying matches and the
tournament proper in six seasons.
